Coastal Weather Research Center

About CWRC

The Coastal Weather Research Center, a self-supporting operation of the Department
of Earth Sciences of the University of South Alabama, began operation on January 1,
1988. Located in the Mitchell Center on the main campus, the Weather Center consists
of a meteorological laboratory, information center, and archive.

The Weather Center's information service is a unique operation for a university. Utilizing
the latest in radar and satellite data, the Weather Center provides forecasts, warnings,
and special weather information to businesses, industries and municipal governments
in Alabama, Mississippi, and northwest Florida. Subscribers pay an annual fee based
on the type of service.

Weather information is disseminated by computer and telephone. The Weather Center's
website is available to subscribers 24/7 providing an array of forecasts, warnings,
special statements, and climatological data. The Weather Center's "Stormcheck” service
began on August 1, 1989 and continues to offer our subscribers a handy morning and
afternoon email update consisting of local and regional forecasts and a weather discussion.

The Coastal Weather Research Center also supports the meteorology academic program
at the University of South Alabama. The Center has become a focal point of the program
by allowing students to utilize map products and data systems while receiving training
in industrial meteorology. Through the efforts of the Weather Center and its staff,
meteorology students are being prepared for employment with the National Weather Service
and private weather forecasting companies.
